God is always good, even when you don't see it. But why? Why would there, if God is always good, be times when we don't see the goodness of God. It may be because of our definition of what is good and what makes God good. Many people ask the question: "If God is so good, then why do so many bad things happen?". They are thinking that if God is good, he would make life easy. But part of what makes God so good, is that he knows what is best, and he allows/enforces it. Sometimes that which is best may not be easy. You may be wondering why hardship is sometimes best. Well, you see life is temporal. God would be wicked if he allowed you to have an easy life, then sent you to hell. He allows you to have hardships in this world to test and see if you really love him. Because he only allows those that love him into heaven. For those who do not love God, it would be torture for them to be in heaven. God allows hardship because it separates those who truly love him from those who don't. Last night I had a dream that inspired this post about the goodness of God. I can't really remember all the details. I do remember I came up with this really amazing quote that explained why God was good for allowing hardship. But I cannot remember the quote. Another thing I remember is that in the dream I had a friend whose parents got divorced. I remember that as soon as I heard that I said "amazing". Not that divorce is amazing, but because my friend was experiencing hardship. And hardship is amazing. I know that when you are right in the midst of the storm and hardship it does not feel that great or amazing. But it really is. And God is always good. Just a side note: Divorce is not good, it creates unnecessary hardship. I will be doing a few more post on hardship, so be on the lookout for them. If you would like to ask me any questions on the subject feel free to. As always please think about what you read. And please share SunShining inspirations with your friends.
